Abstract
Aim: Although aging reveals individuals with a higher demand for health services, geriatric nursing is not preferred. The study was carried out to measure the ageism of nursing students in Turkey and determine whether or not there were differences in ageism attitudes of students based on gender, grade, and living with aged individuals.
 Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. PubMed, Scopus, Google Academic, and National Thesis Center databases were screened.
 Results: Total 23 studies were included. The attitudes of nursing students toward aged people were slightly positive. The attitudes of last year students were statistically more positive. The attitudes of students living with aged individuals against ageism were found more positive. No effect of gender on ageism was found. 
 Conclusion: It is seen that knowledge of aging and interacting with aged people increase positive attitudes. It is recommended to include geriatrics in the nursing curriculum and to increase activities in that nursing students can interact with aged individuals.
